| Obverse description | A sphinx depicted in profile facing right, shown in a crouching or seated posture with forelegs extended. The creature displays a detailed striated wing raised above its leonine body, with a human head rendered in archaic Cypriot style. The figure occupies the majority of the flan, executed in high relief characteristic of early Cypriot coinage. The treatment of the mane and wing feathers is rendered in fine parallel incised lines, reflecting the archaic artistic conventions of the early fifth century BC. |
